badge of the Baltimore city guard. and
the charge of shot which killed him
struck this and carried fragments of it

anxious that the first outbreak should
come from the other side. jackson
was Southerner and at the time OF
his death was engaged in raising a

Presidents own life was the last to be
sacrificed when the bloody struggle
was ended. "--Detroit Tribune.
